UK pair wanted over fatal street stabbing lodge objections to surrender

Two men arrested in County Mayo have lodged objections to their extradition at the High Court in Dublin in connection with a fatal stabbing in Carlisle, UK. Kane Hull, aged 28, and Liam Porter, aged 32, both from Carlisle addresses, are sought in relation to the death of Ryan Kirkpatrick on 18 September. They were arrested by gardaí in late September following international arrest warrants. Liam Porter faces an additional charge of assisting an offender. The High Court adjourned proceedings today to allow consideration of the legal grounds of objection filed by each man's legal team. The case was adjourned for mention on 1 November. Both men previously appeared before the High Court on 29 September. In the UK jurisdiction, murder and manslaughter carry maximum sentences of life imprisonment, whilst assisting an offender carries a maximum of ten years.
